Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With almost no lasting buzz and a short run with a modest audience, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for crime-drama fans and action fans. If you loved Gangs of London or MobLand, start here.
The mood: Dark and gritty.
The pace: 1 season: a few weeks of evenings, hour-long episodes, about 15 hours in all.
What might put you off: Nothing much for most grown-ups.

Being police officers has stripped Max and Donny bare, to the point where they're about as morally ambiguous as the criminals they chase. Max has developed his own methods for dealing with bad guys, having lost interest in conventional police work, while Donny has become slightly unhinged by the job yet remains faithfully optimistic. The partners' paths cross with local drug dealer Carlos, who's caught in a turf war and whom Max uses to infiltrate the neighborhood's criminal underworld.
